Tutorial Tuesday-Accordion Mini Album

Hey Paper Wings Fans! Erica here with you today and before I get into my post I want to thank everyone who joined us this past weekend for our July Blog Hop! We hope you enjoyed the hop and felt inspired!

I took my Tim Holtz scissors to distress the edges and then my Jenni Bowlin Brown Sugar ink to darken them.

I added a variety of Paper Wings stamps to the pages as well. I know these will more than likely get covered up but just in case I have edges showing I do know what plain cardstock showing.

I used the 6x6 paper pad that came in the July Nestimg Components kit to cover my pages. This paper is from Marion Smith Designs and it is beautiful!

I also created a couple more pockets to add to my pages by cutting down some pattern paper and using my 1 3/4" circle punch to cut out a half circle in the paper. Then I adhered down to my page and added a Ranger Tag that was included in one of the past Nesting Components kits.

This paper collection comes with some great cut apart pieces that are great to add to mini albums and you can also add photos to the backs of them. I cut them apart and distressed the edges and added them throughout my album.

To finish off my album I added some Hand Dyed Ribbon to my tags and some jute and then layered up some pieces onto my cover along with a beautiful ribbon rose! The July 2014 kit also included some Marion Smith Junque&Gems that I added to my cover as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my accordion mini album! I hope you will give this album a try and share with us on our Flickr gallery or Facebook page!
